The Black Box LMC401AE is a compact Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet cabling and fiber optic networks. This device is critical for extending network distances beyond the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet, making it suitable for industrial environments, campus networks, and surveillance systems where longer cable runs are required. Its black, unobtrusive form factor allows for discreet installation in various settings. The LMC401AE specifically supports 100-Mbps connections, ensuring compatibility with legacy and many current surveillance camera streams.
This media converter is designed to interface with standard Fast Ethernet (100-Mbps) network devices. It accepts a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection from a copper cable and converts it to a fiber optic signal, and vice-versa. It is compatible with any network switch, camera, or endpoint that utilizes a 100-Mbps Ethernet port and requires fiber optic connectivity for extended range. Specific compatibility is dictated by the fiber optic transceiver module used (sold separately) which must match the fiber type (multimode or single-mode) and connector type (e.g., SC, LC) of the remote end device.
Installation requires connecting a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the converter's copper port and a compatible fiber optic transceiver module (sold separately) to the fiber port. The unit is typically powered by an external power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the fiber transceiver module's specifications (wavelength, fiber type, distance rating) match the requirements of the remote network device for reliable communication. Operating temperature range is -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F).
